CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 238

Katherine turned to look at Hector and nodded. "Hector is indeed a good man. He should find a good woman in the future."

Hector raised his eyebrows and stared at Katherine. "Really?"

"Really," Katherine said seriously. "Believe me. You have such a pleasant character, and you must be popular among girls. You’ll definitely find a good woman."

Hector smirked. "A good woman… I hope what you said becomes real."

While the three were waiting for the food to be served, they talked about the issues of Bennett & Co.

The Bennett family did investment business. In fact, Hector was not good at it, and didn’t know much about risk assessment.

However, Kyle thought nothing of it. "Get an expert, and ask him to assess the risk for you. I heard it from Isabella before. Some experts make accurate assessments, and almost all their plans hit the mark."

Hector sighed. "To tell you the truth, I’m not happy working in the company."

Kyle looked at Hector and comforted him. "You’ll get used to it over time."

After that, something seemed to pop into Kyle’s mind, and he said immediately, "By the way, let me tell you something. The other day, I got a 3D printer…"

Katherine thought Kyle was about to rave about his high-tech product, but he changed the subject abruptly. "The installer told me that he had seen your mother in another city a few days ago."

Katherine was stunned. "The installer knew Hector’s mother?"

Kyle opened his mouth, not knowing how to put it.

Hector dropped his eyes, smiled and said, "My mother used to be a D-list star. She’s not famous, but many people may find her familiar, and they probably will remember her when seeing her."

Katherine murmured, "That’s why."

Hector paused and asked Kyle, "What did that installer say about my mother?"

Kyle heaved a sigh. "Nothing special. He just said that he saw your mother performing in a bar. It had been a long time since he had last seen her, and it didn’t occur to him that a has-been would still perform in a bar nowadays."

Hector didn’t know how his mother had been either. He thought a moment before saying, "Actually, she loves singing. She used to say she acted to sing."

However, she did a poor job of acting and singing. After she met Kevin, she became a loser in life.

Now she was getting older, and there must be a lot of pressure on her to perform again.

Katherine didn’t know the story behind all this before, so she exclaimed, "I admire her courage. It’s great that she can break away from the worldly shackles and do what she loves. It doesn’t matter if she’s getting old, 'cause who doesn’t?"

Kyle echoed, "Exactly. When I get old, I might not be so courageous as she is."

Katherine got amused. "Stop looking down on yourself. You’re bolder than you think you are, and you can also do whatever you like with your boldness."

The subject was heavy, but the atmosphere was livened up instantly by Katherine’s taunt.

Kyle gritted his teeth. "You hurt my feelings. I’m sad. I’m having a heartache. I cannot breathe. Hex, help me."

Kyle collapsed on the table slowly in an exaggerated way.

Hector got used to it and cast a glance at Kyle. "Katherine is right. What she says makes sense."

Katherine burst into laughter.

Kyle sat up slowly and rolled his eyes. "Why are you always on her side? You’ve never been on my side. If she wasn’t married, I could totally see you two became a couple."

Katherine raised her eyebrows. "What a naive boy! I don’t think you understand the relationship between Hector and me. We appreciate each other, and it’s beyond the affection between men and women. I don’t blame you if you find it hard to understand."

Hector threw a glance at Katherine and gave a faint smile, as if deep in thought.

The three of them chatted and joked until the food was served.

Kyle rose to his feet again.

However, this time, before he could talk, Katherine and Hector took out their phones immediately.

Hector said first, "I knew it. 'It’s such a pleasure to have dinner with my two good friends again.'"
